    Did anyone see this $7000 bottle?

    A search in post-1900 soda bottles on Ebay will show you almost 50 Coca Cola and Pepsi Bottles that have recently sold for over $1000. I really don't trust those buy it now prices for getting accurate values but the increase in prices on all types of Coke and Pepsi bottles has been hard not to...

    Big Boy Bottle Worth $0.99 or $129.30

    I was browsing some sold listings on Ebay when I noticed that an embossed Big Boy bottle from Charlotte, NC sold for $129.30 with 14 bids and 5 different bidders. BIG BOY There are many similar embossed Big Boy bottles out there that typically sell for under $20 so I figured the Charlotte, NC...

    Lawson's Rare Green NDNR Soda Bottle

    I have this extremely rare Lawson's no deposit no return NDNR green glass soda bottle. This was available only in parts of Ohio for a very short time. Lawson's is more well known as a dairy and the milk bottles are common but this soda bottle, which also comes in clear glass, is very difficult...

    Yard Sale Finds

    I saw yard sale on my way to work a couple days ago but I did not have time to stop. After work, the sale was still going so I decided to stop since it was on my way home. I immediately gravitated to a table that was filled with bottles for $1 each and could not even believe what was sitting...

    Dublin Bottling Works Photo Gallery

    I found this interesting photo gallery online from the former Dr. Pepper bottler and thought everyone here would enjoy these photos. My favorites are the old delivery truck that is still being used and all the cool signs: http://www.star-telegram.com/2012/06/09/4020037/dublin-bottling-works.html

    Arctic Fruit Ales - Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland

    I don't usually buy 5 gallon glass jugs but this one was too cool to pass up. It is embossed Arctic Fruit Ales on the front with icicles all around the top and bottom. The back has a spot for a label but it is an unusual shape and near the top it is embossed with the three cities Detroit -...

    1938 Big Chief ACL Bottle

    I recently picked up this neat Big Chief ACL bottle that is dated 1938. It has the same label on the front and the back. I have seen lots of the all embossed Big Chief bottles similar to this style but I have never seen one with an ACL on it. There is no city/state listed on the bottle. I have...

    Chocolate Bunny ACL featuring Bugs Bunny?

    I have had no luck finding anything about this bottle except for a listing on Christopher Weide's want list which includes the description: picture of Bugs Bunny. I know the picture on the bottle does not look like the typical image of Bugs Bunny but he did look different in the past so I am not...

    Wolverine Ginger Ale - Toledo, Ohio

    I just picked up this nice Wolverine Ginger Ale Electro Pure Water Co. Toledo, Ohio crate last weekend. It stood out to me because I had not seen one of these bottles marked Toledo although I have seen quite a few marked Detroit which is where I think this drink originated. Go figure that just...

    Owens Illinois Prototype Bottle

    I saw an unusual Owens Illinois prototype bottle in an antique shop last weekend and I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about these. It was dated in the early 1970s, either 1970 or 1973, the glass was very thin with an odd top, no closure, looked similar to a small NDNR soda or beer...

    Some unusual 8 bubble 7 Up bottles

    I have been doing some research on the early 7 Up bottles since I bought these four bottles a few days ago and have discovered that all 3 variations I have are rather unsual 8 bubble 7 Up bottles according to what I read in the Soda Fizz articles by Bill Lockhart...

    A Prohibition Era Malt Tonic and 2 Cereal Beverages

    Here are a few more items I picked up along with the sodas I recently bought. Most of the bottles that were for sale were beer and wine bottles which I don't really collect. However, I just could not pass up on these nice paper label prohibition era brewery bottles. The first one is...

    New finds...lots of local sodas

    It has been awhile since I posted here but that is mostly because I have not found much of anything lately. That changed a few days ago when I called about a classified ad I saw in the newspaper for lots of old bottles for sale. I was not sure what I would find but it was less than 5 minutes...

    Red Key Mason SCA

I can't find a listing for this color in my Red Book however I did find the Atlas jar (common in clear & aqua) pictured below on Ebay which sold for $60. My jar is very close or...

    Salesman sample crown top?

    I found this at an estate sale a year or so ago, I believe it is a salesman sample for a crown top bottle because I can't think of any other reason why this would have been made. It is only 2 inches tall and although it is not solid, it would not hold very much of anything. I am curious about...

    Found my first 1915 Coke bottle

    I stopped at an antique mall on Tuesday and came across a 1915 patent date Coke sitting amongst some D-Pat hobbleskirts all priced at $3. What struck me as odd about this bottle is that it has 2 cities embossed on the bottom: Cleveland and Cincinatti, Ohio. I tried searching for some info but...
